Abstract
OBJECTIVE
To validate the efficacy of Patho_Net system for cervical cytology screening.
METHODS
The results of imaging diagnosis by Patho_Net system were compared to those of 102 cervical smears diagnosed by conventional light microscopy.
RESULTS
There was 52.9% concordant results. The image result for the slide were 41 (80.4%) WNL or atrophy, 19 (61.3%) inflammation or benign atypia, 1 (20%) LSIL, 2 (20%) HSIL and 1 (100%) invasive squamous cell carcinoma.
CONCLUSION
Patho_Net system has potential for diagnostic value as a valid alternative to the traditional glass slide screening of Pap smear.
